Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 36 Fair Oaks Street, owned by the Crizer Family Trust 99, was constructed in 1960 and is currently facing an active compliance issue regarding the mandatory soft-story retrofit, with the owner reportedly rejecting necessary improvements. The building has undergone several maintenance works over the past few decades, including a 2024 re-roofing project valued at $8,800 and stucco and window repairs in 2021 costing $5,000. Notably, in June 2002, the property underwent a series of fire safety and building code violations that were subsequently addressed and abated by August 2002, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire proofing materials, handrails, and gas meter requirements.

The building's service history also includes three routine inspections: one in 2002 (which led to the aforementioned violations), another in 2006 (no violations noted), and most recently in September 2024 relating to the soft-story compliance issue. While there have been no recorded fire incidents resulting in civilian injuries or property damage, there was one false alarm activation. The property has had minimal external infrastructure issues as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning in the vicinity and an abandoned vehicle report from 2021.

Risk rating

How 36 Fair Oaks St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.4%
Moderate concern 20.1%
Severe concern 33.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
